29、 what a great wellrounded student you are. Your academic, artistic, and social skills have truly blossomed(展现) in the last few years. You should be as proud of yourself as we are.College will be the most important years in your life. It is in college that you will truly discover what learning is abo
30、ut. You often question “what good is this course”. I encourage you to be inquisitive, but I also want to tell you: “Education is what you have left after all that is taught is forgotten.” What I mean by that is the material taught isnt as important as you gaining the ability to learn a new subject,
31、and the ability to analyze a new problem. That is really what learning in college is aboutthis will be the period where you go from teachertaught to masterinspired, after which you must become selflearner.Do not fall into the trap of dogma(教条). There is no single simple answer to any question. Remem
32、ber during your high school debate class, I always asked you to take on the side that you dont believe in? I did that for a reasonthings rarely “black and white”, and there are always many ways to look at a problem. You will become a better problem solver if you recognized that. This is called “crit
33、ical thinking”, and it is the most important thinking skill you need for your life. This also means you need to become tolerant and supportive of others. I will always remember when I went to my Ph.D. advisor and proposed a new thesis topic, he said “I dont agree with you, but Ill support you.” “_”F
34、ollow your passion in college. Take courses you think you will enjoy. Dont be trapped in what others think or say. Steve Jobs says when you are in college, your passion will create many dots, and later in your life you will connect them. Enjoy picking your dots, and be assured one day you will find
35、your calling, and connect a beautiful curve through the dots.Most importantly, make friends and be happy. College friends are often the best in life, because during college you are closer to them physically than to your family. Also, going through independence and adulthood is a natural bonding expe

40、wes his success to his critical thinking.CAn artificial intelligence that navigates(导航) its environment much like mammals could help solve a mystery about our own internal GPS.Equipped with virtual versions of specialized brain nerve cells called grid cells, the AI could easily solve and plan new ro
41、utes through virtual mazes(迷宫). That performance, described online May 9 in Nature,suggests the grid cells(网格细胞 )in animal brains play a critical role in path planning.“This is a big step forward in understanding our own navigational neural circuitry( 电路),”says Ingmar Kanitscheider, a computational
42、neuroscientist at. The University of Texas at Austin not involved in the work. The discovery that rats track their location with the help of grid cells earned a Norwegian research team the 2014 Nobel Prize in physiology to medicine. Neuroscientists suspected these cells, which have also been found i
43、n humans, might help not only give mammals an internal coordinate(协同) system, but also plan direct paths between points.To test that idea, neuroscientist Caswell Barry at University College London, along with colleagues at Google DeepMind, created an AI that contained virtual nerve cells, or neurons
44、, whose activity resembled that of real grid cells. The researchers trained this AI to navigate virtual mazes by giving the system reward signals when it reached its destination.The AI bested a human expert player at solving the virtual mazes, and proved savvier than other artificial neural networks
45、 in planning ways through mazes larger than those traversed(横穿的) during its training. When a door opened to provide a shortcut through the maze, the new AI took the more direct route. By contrast, AI systems without artificial grid cells ignored the open door and took long the way around.These findi
46、ngs support the idea that grid cells do more than help mammals locate themselves in time and space;they also help animals plan the most straightforward direction to destinations. AI also appears to be“a very powerful tool for testing other neuroscience theories, Barry says. He and his colleagues sug
47、gest that virtual experiments on artificial neural networks that imitate different regions of the brain may eventually replace some animal testing.But there are limitations to using AI to study the brain. Because the system is meant to learn on its own,researchers cant tell why the system made a spe
48、cific decision, says neuroscientist Francesco Savelli at Johns Hopkings University, whose commentary also appears online May 9 in Nature.41. What is the function of the virtual grid cells?Helping animals adapt to the environment. Controlling the growth of nerve cells.Assisting the AI in finding a wa

We can infer from Paragraph 6 that_.Animals are as intelligent as humans Animal testing on the brain will be reduced in futureC. Humans will
50、 be equipped with the virtual grid cellsD. Grid cells are more important than other nerve cells44. What is Francesco Savelli unclear about?A. How the AI system works.B.

51、f the brain.DIn 1909 an English newspaper offered 1,000 to the first man to fly across the English Channel in an aero plane. Today, modern jets cross it in minutes. But at that time it still seemed a good distance. The race to win the money soon became a race between two men. Both were very colorful
52、. One was Louis Bleriot. He owned a factory in France that made motor car lamps. He was already well known as a pilot (飞行员) because he had had accidents several times. Some people laughed at him. One man said, “He may not be the first to fly across the Channel but he will certainly be the first to d
53、ie in an accident!” But Bleriot was really a good and brave pilot. He also had many good ideas about aero plane design. The other man was Hubert Latham. He was half French and half English. He took up flying when his doctors told him he had only a year to live. “Oh, well,” he said, “if I m going to
54、die soon, I think I shall have a dangerous and interesting life now.” Latham was the first to try the flight (飞行) across the Channel. Ten kilometers from the French coast, his plane had some trouble. It fell down into the water and began to sink under the water. A boat reached Latham just in time. H
55、e was sitting calmly on the wing and was coolly lighting a cigarette (香烟). Bleriot took off six days later. He flew into some very bad weather and very low cloud. He somehow got to the English side and landed in a farmers field. When he did so, a customs (海关) officer rushed up to his plane. Planes h

A. a sad one B. a dangerous one C. his first one D. an easy one48. Why did Hubert Latham want to fly across the Channel? A. He th
58、ought he could manage it easily. B. He wanted to be the first one to cross the Channel. C. He knew he only had a year to live. D. He had always been interested in flying.49. Which of the following is NOT true? A. Latham became a pilot on the doctors advice. B. He was told he could live another year.
59、 C. His plane had some trouble. D. He was saved by a boat when his plane was sinking.50. Why did the customs officer rush to the plane? A. To see if everything was all right with the plane. B. To make sure that the pilot was not hurt. C. To ask why the plane had landed in a farmers field. D. None of

In addition, if they follow fashion there will be more topics to talk with others, making them the centre of class through appealing to others attention.However, the others believe it wastes their time and money which co

Lacking in self-confidence and self-determination, those who follow fashion fail to deal with their studies.In my part, we are supposed to hold positive attitudes towards following fashion, which should be kept in balance with studies. Only with positive sense of fashion can we live a harmonious life.
